<< Embodiment 1 >>
<Overview>

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overview of a timepiece according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the “clock” of the present embodiment not only displays the time on the dual scale, but also obtains physical quantity information in association with the time, and sets the cumulative target quantity within the time division to the time division length. The target physical quantity that is the physical quantity that should be accumulated by the current time in the time division is obtained using the average physical quantity that is the quantity averaged by dividing by, and up to the current time of the physical quantity that is to be controlled in the time division Acquire the actual cumulative amount that is the cumulative amount of, and add the difference amount obtained by subtracting the target cumulative amount at the current time within the same time segment from the acquired actual cumulative amount, starting from the current time indicated in the dual scale In the case of, the display is preceded by the current time, and in the case of minus, the display is delayed from the current time. Incidentally, all of the clocks in FIG. 1 show 9:35, and FIG. 1-A shows a case where the difference amount is positive and FIG. 1-B shows a case where it is negative.
<Functional configuration>

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of functional blocks of the timepiece according to the present embodiment. As shown in this figure, the “clock” 0200 of this embodiment includes a “double scale” 0201, a “physical quantity acquisition unit” 0202, a “target cumulative amount acquisition unit” 0203, a “time display unit” 0204, “Achieved cumulative amount acquisition unit” 0205 and “Difference amount display unit” 0206.

  The "bilateral scale" is a scale for integrally indicating the physical quantity to be controlled using the cumulative target quantity provided for each time and time division, and a plurality of ticks indicating the time division in the watch surface, It is comprised from the display surface which has the function which points to each step. That is, it is possible to simultaneously indicate the time and the physical quantity with one scale. In addition, it is good also as a structure which added the dial for showing the time corresponding to a notch in the surface of a timepiece. As shown in FIG. 1, the position where the dual scale is arranged is mainly considered to be the edge of the time display dial of the watch, but other times and physical quantities can be shown integrally. In particular, the present invention is not limited to this part. It is conceivable that the number of steps of the dual scale is 60 as in the case of a general clock, but it can also be a multiple (for example, 120 or 240), or a common divisor (for example, 12 or 4). ) And may be determined as appropriate.

  The “cumulative target amount provided for each time segment” refers to a target value of a cumulative amount of physical quantity that can be increased or decreased over time within a certain time segment. Here, a configuration is possible in which the cumulative target amount can be changed for each time segment. If the physical quantity to be controlled is the amount of power, for example, there is a difference in the amount of power that is expected to be consumed between the amount of power consumed in the night time and the amount of power consumed in the daytime. It may be possible to change the cumulative target amount in the night time zone more than in the daytime.

  For example, 30 minutes may be set as one time division as a reference for setting the target value, but may be 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 60 minutes, or the like. The accumulated target amount information can be stored in advance in an internal storage device, or can be configured to be acquired from an external device via a wired or wireless communication line. Furthermore, it is also possible to accept an operation input as appropriate using an operation input device.

  “Physical quantity to be controlled using the cumulative target quantity provided for each time segment” refers to a physical quantity that should be controlled to achieve the target by allowing the user to recognize whether the target value is exceeded. Point to.

  The “physical quantity acquisition unit” has a function of acquiring the physical quantity information in association with time. There are various types of information on the physical quantity to be acquired. For example, the power consumption at the time (power consumption per unit time), the operating speed of the room runner, etc., are all examples. It is not limited to. Note that “in association with time” means that a physical quantity is acquired at a specific time. Specifically, the physical quantity is not a value obtained as a result of being continuously acquired for a certain period, but is a value acquired individually at a specific time, for example, at 16:30 or 16:33. It means that.

  In addition, since the physical quantity is a value that becomes the basis of the actual cumulative amount and the difference amount to be acquired later, the acquisition timing needs to be earlier than when the actual cumulative amount and the differential amount are acquired. Specifically, as a display method suitable for the user, it is desirable that the display update timing of the difference amount coincides with the display change timing of the time, so the physical amount is the minimum level at which the displayed time changes. It is conceivable to obtain at a time interval shorter than this interval. The “minimum interval at which the displayed time changes” means the earliest interval at which the display change indicating that the time for both scales is advanced, for example, the number of steps for both scales is 60. In this case, the “earliest interval” is 1 minute. Therefore, in the case of the right example, it is desirable that the physical quantity is acquired every less than one minute.

  By the way, as a means for acquiring a physical quantity, a configuration for acquiring via a detector such as a temperature sensor or an acceleration sensor, a configuration for acquiring via an operation input device, a configuration for acquiring via a wired or wireless communication line, etc. Can be considered. As a configuration using a communication line, a form of power line carrier communication (PLC) using a power line may be used.

  The “target cumulative amount acquisition unit” is a physical amount that should be accumulated up to the current time in the time division using an average physical quantity that is an average amount obtained by dividing the cumulative target amount in the time division by the time division length. It has a function to acquire the target cumulative amount. Here, the “average physical quantity” refers to a target value per unit time of the physical quantity. The “unit time” here may be one minute in a normal timepiece. By acquiring the value, it is possible not only to manage the accumulated target amount in units of time divisions but also to check for each subdivided unit time.

  Here, the relationship between the cumulative target amount and the target cumulative amount will be described using a specific power consumption as an example. For example, when the cumulative target amount of power consumption for 30 minutes from 16:30 to 17:00 is set to 6000 kWh, the average physical quantity per minute, which is a unit time, is calculated as 200 kW. Therefore, under this setting, the target cumulative amount at 16:45 is 3000 kWh, and the target cumulative amount at 16:50 is calculated as 4000 kWh.

  The “time display unit” has a function of displaying the time on a dual scale. Here, “display the time on the dual scale” means a time display method in which the time can be visually recognized by the information indicated on the dual scale of the entire timepiece. By adopting such a display method, for example, the time may be displayed without using part or all of the hands such as the long hand, the short hand, and the second hand, which have been used as the time display method of a conventional clock. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, for example, in a conventional timepiece, a location corresponding to the time indicated by the long hand is displayed on the dual scale, and a location corresponding to the time classification indicated by the short hand is indicated by a physical quantity of the dual scale. For example, a method of displaying at a target position sandwiching the position indicating both and the scale for both purposes can be considered. In the timepiece of the present embodiment, by adopting this configuration, not only the time but also the specific degree of achievement of the target at the current time can be recognized at the same time by one scale. It becomes possible to take timely action according to the degree of goal achievement.

  The “actual cumulative amount acquisition unit” has a function of acquiring the actual cumulative amount that is the cumulative amount up to the current time of the physical quantity to be controlled within the time segment. Specifically, it has a function of acquiring an integrated amount of physical quantities continuously acquired by the physical quantity acquisition unit from the time section start time to the current time. Corresponding to the physical quantity examples given above, the actual cumulative amount acquisition unit acquires the power consumption from the acquired power consumption to the current time, or the total distance traveled and calorie consumption from the acquired room runner speed A configuration for acquiring the quantity and the like is conceivable. By adopting this configuration, it is possible to grasp the physical quantity acquired in association with the time in a unit of time within a certain range, and as a result, it is possible to calculate a difference quantity with a target cumulative quantity to be described later.

  The “difference amount display part” is the difference amount obtained by subtracting the target accumulated amount up to the current time point in the same time segment from the acquired actual accumulated amount, plus the current time indicated in the dual scale as a starting point Has a function of displaying before the current time, and in the case of a minus, it is delayed after the current time. Here, “the difference amount obtained by subtracting the target cumulative amount from the acquired actual cumulative amount up to the current time within the same time zone” specifically means whether the actual cumulative amount exceeds the target cumulative amount. By calculating the difference amount, it is possible to display whether or not the actual cumulative amount at the current time point within a predetermined time exceeds the target, and allow the user to grasp it. Therefore, for example, when acquiring the power consumption amount as the actual cumulative amount, by obtaining the difference amount, it becomes possible for the user to grasp whether or not he / she is taking the target energy saving action, When acquiring the calorie consumption associated with continuous exercise using a runner or the like, it is possible to determine whether or not the exercise amount necessary for the target calorie consumption has been achieved.

  “The current time shown in the dual scale is the starting point if it is positive and if it is positive, the current time is displayed ahead of the current time, and if it is negative, it is displayed later than the current time” means that the difference value is positive or negative. In this case, in addition to the display of the current time, this means that another display is also performed on the dual scale. When the difference value is positive, it indicates that the actual cumulative amount exceeds the target cumulative amount, and when it is negative, it indicates that the actual cumulative amount is lower than the target cumulative amount. In other words, it is displayed on both scales that the target is in an over target state in the former case and that the target is not exceeded in the latter case.

  Here, the display method of the difference amount (the ratio between the dual scale and the differential amount) is determined by the setting unit of the target cumulative amount and the number of steps of the dual scale. Specifically, the case where the acquired physical quantity is power consumption will be described as an example with specific numbers. If the actual cumulative amount when the cumulative target amount is set to 6000 kWh at the time segment of 30 minutes and the actual cumulative amount at the time of 20 minutes is 5000 kWh, the target cumulative amount at the current time is 4000 kWh, and the difference amount is plus 1000 kWh. In this case, the number of steps in the scale per time division is 30, and the unit of the difference amount per step is 200 kWh. In this case, the display preceding the current time by 5 steps is made. (Specific example 1). Conversely, when the actual cumulative amount is 1600 kWh, the difference amount at the current time is minus 2400 kWh, and in this case, the display is delayed by twelve tick marks from the current time (specific example). 2). When the user looks at the clock displaying the result, in the case of the specific example 1, the user can recognize the necessity of performing an energy saving action to save the power consumption equivalent to the consumption for 5 minutes. In addition, it is possible to recognize that the power consumption amount in the specific example 2 still has a margin equivalent to the 12-minute consumption. By adopting such a configuration for the display method of the dual scale, when the user looks at the clock, it becomes possible to recognize the actual cumulative amount in association with not only the target cumulative amount but also the time. It becomes possible to take timely action accordingly.

  Note that the above display method is merely an example, and it is naturally possible to use other display modes. Specifically, in addition to the method of displaying the same number of steps in both scales, as well as the method of displaying only the leading part of the leading or slowing steps in the dual scale as shown in FIG. It is done.

  In addition, since the difference amount display in the timepiece according to the present invention is performed using the same dual scale as the current time display, the current time is displayed as much as possible so that the user can distinguish and recognize both displays. It is desirable that the display form is different from the display. For example, when the current time display is lit, the difference amount display is displayed in a blinking manner, or the current time display is represented by a color element different from the difference amount display or by a thick line. Can be considered.

In addition, when there are a plurality of physical quantities expressed using the dual scale, a configuration in which a plurality of display surfaces are provided to indicate each physical quantity with the dual scale is also possible. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the physical quantity A is indicated by a “display surface A” 0501 arranged in an annular shape outside the clock face, and the corresponding differential quantity A is shown in the outer annular shape. A configuration may be considered in which the arranged “display surface B” 0502 indicates the corresponding difference amount B. Here, when taking the said structure, you may use a different time division for every display surface from which the physical quantity to acquire differs. Specifically, on the display surface A, for example, a difference amount display with a time division of 5 minutes may be performed, and on the display surface B, a difference amount display with a time division of 12 hours may be performed. By adopting each configuration as described above, even if a plurality of physical quantities are to be controlled, it is possible to grasp the degree of achievement of the target for each physical quantity at a glance.

  Here, FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a change in physical quantity acquired in the timepiece of the present embodiment. In this figure, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents power, which is a physical quantity acquired. The time division is 5 minutes from 13:05 to 13:10, and the cumulative target amount during that time is 5/12 kWh. In the case of the above-mentioned setting for a clock having 60 scales for both scales, the number of scales in the time segment is 5 so that one scale for both scales. The physical quantity corresponding to is 1 kW, and the target cumulative quantity is 1/12 kWh.

As shown in this figure, the power consumption at 13:05 is 2 kW (power consumption is 2/60 kWh), the power consumption at 06 minutes is 4 kW (4/60 kWh), then At 07 minutes, 4 kW (4/60 kWh) of power is consumed. That is, the actual cumulative amount for 3 minutes is 2/12 kWh. On the other hand, the target cumulative amount for 3 minutes is 3/12 kWh as described above. In other words, the difference between the actual accumulated amount and the accumulated target amount is minus 1/12 kWh.

In step S1305, a difference amount obtained by subtracting the target accumulation amount from the actual accumulation amount is calculated, and light emission display using different colors is performed depending on whether the value is positive or negative (difference amount emission color control display). Step).
<Effect>

  With the watch of this embodiment, whether the actual cumulative amount at the current time is ahead of or behind the target cumulative amount can be easily determined only by the color emitted by the dual scales without having to read the dual scales. It becomes possible to grasp.
